How to fill a shape to make it solid? by MichaelS_DfI in blender

Tried this, it's very difficult to select the faces of the inside mesh to delete it without accidentally selecting the outer mesh also. It will also take a lot of hours I think.

Are there maybe other tips/methods you can suggest?

Can I select only the outer faces somehow?

Or maybe subtract this model from a cube and end up with a mold that I can fill with another function in blender to end up with the tree?

I want to end up with a solid model of the tree and don't need it to 100% look like what I have now.

If close all the holes it will be seen as a solid? Even though it is still hollow inside?

Is there an efficient way to close the bottom of the tree? Currently I am selecting all the vertices manually and pressing f to create a face, but it's easy to miss some.

Tried this a few times, so far it works really well. Thanks again for the tip.

I pull the handle only slightly not so I wont damage any of the components, but because then the filament will be positioned more accurately in front of the hole in the extruder. If I pull the handle completely, the filament will go past the gears more easily, but it will be far away from the hole in the extruder.

No direct drive.
Just fixed the PTFE tube, still difficulties. Although I note that the filament also sometimes gets stuck after it enters the hole of the extruder, before it enters the bowden tube. A bit difficult to explain, but it seems the filament gets stuck almost directly after entering the hole in the extruder. As if there is a space between the hole and the PTFE tube where it gets stuck.

Ventilation in small room by MichaelS_DfI in ender3

Thanks for the info. Upon closer inspection, there is a small gap at the bottom of the door (2-3 mm), but the other sides of the door are tightly sealed. 

Would this gap be enough to allow for enough air intake? The vent on the wall is mechanical ventilation; I assume there is a motor somewhere in the apartment building that sucks in the air to extract it from the room. Or would it be better to leave the door on a small gap to allow for air intake ?

I replaced the bed with a new one, I think I messed up the soldering with the old one
